I see. Who decides which scriptures are worthy of following & which are worthy of breaking? You?

Do you always answer questions with questions?

Couth is overrated, much like a human who might self-apply the title of bishop.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

'Long Ago', Chatham Island, East of New Zealand was populated by fun and peace loving Polynesians. That was Before the British landed at New Zealand and informed A warlike, belligerent, cannibalistic and head hunting Group of Natives Named the Maoris that the Chatham Islands existed.

Then the Maoris Folks seized a British Brig and 900 of them loaded on board and set sail for the Chatham Islands back in 1835. The Maoris conquered the islands slaughtering and eating the locals; the other Peaceful Loving Moriori's did not resist, Ignorant of the Human 'Un-Nurtured' ways of Warfare. After 15 Years when the survivors were freed there were less than ten percent of the original 2000 Morioris surviving, as they were systematically enslaved, murdered and eaten and bred out of existence.

Anthropology 101, Suggests that war and peace depends on competition for resources and mates in most primitive cultures and this is also Seen in Chimpanzee Populations in the Congo, as far as Warring Behavior goes for access to resources and mates.

Chimpanzees and Bonobos are Separated from each other by the Congo River. The Separated Bonobo Great Ape Species are Peaceful due to a Plentiful Ecosystem and Mates where Sexual Activity is Plentiful and Mixed in the Population as an
All Natural 'Tool' for Bonding and Diffusing Aggression among most all 'Group Members'. Chimps, on the other hand, Across the Congo, where Resources for Subsistence, including Mates are not as plentiful, are observed as participating in fratricide killing their own over food and reproductive rights and other Warring Ways of 'Great Ape' Life.

Meh, as far as Human Beings Capable of Peaceful Coexistence; it's So Safe and Peaceful and Harmonious where i Live
that i can practically Leave my Doors open; Credit all the 'Conservatives' and their Stock Pile of Guns, too as even the most
Hardened of Criminals would be Foolish to Enter one of these Dwellings in Stand Your Ground Land and 4 Wheel Drives.

It's True that Humans like Bonobos do better in Peace and Harmony when everyone gets their Fill of Food and Drink and Shelter and Mates.

But it's also True, Generally Speaking that Humans who are not evolved to be fully Acquainted in a day to day Recognition of Familiarity of Working together for Common Binds and Bonds over Subsistence Gaining Activity Full of Meaning and Purpose; and in Particular Humans with their Natural Ability to Enjoy Co-Creating Holy And Sacred Feelings and Senses about what they share in Common; including the Cultural Byproducts they co-create together as Edifice of Symbols too;
yes, it's true Humans have difficulty getting along if one gets A Village of More than 200 that also my not be Homogenous in Cultural Binding over Commonly Shared Bonds; even as far as Physical Similarities too. Some folks are Afraid of Different; It's just a Natural Science Assessed Fact of Life. Some folks are not (i.e. me; not so much age least).

Yeah; it's True, there are a Whole lot of Individual Humans with all Kinds of Stress in the United States where I live
too, who can't figure out how to live according to the Finances they have and enjoy what they have. But the
Truth is if you figure your own sh88 out this is one Hell of a Party to enjoy now; Works for me, at least
but not until i figured my Sh88 out on my own. Anyway; Credit the Forefathers and the Constitution
of the United States as it works for those who figure their own sh88 out and Beat any Negative issues
Now in the Systems at Hand. it's not that Hard, Just Fearless Love Dance and Sing now within your
Means and Let Uncle Sam and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and all their Friends take care of the
rest in other words, too, if you don't believe LiFE is 'Magic' too, highly unlikely it will become an Oz of Fun
where you are The Dude and or Dudette behind the Curtain Directing and Producing and Acting, yes, Your Own
Life Play for Real with no one at the so-called top of the 'Faux News Pyramid' pulling your Strings as you become
the Capstone and the Eye of Wisdom at the top of the Pyramid of You. Maslow Agrees, at least too, with Ascending
and Transcending Love for all too just a notch above the Self-Actualizing Now of Figuring yourself out and what
You Will To Do Best Under Love too. And yes of course it helps to do your Best not to Harm others as Love Works Best
in Living a Life of Happiness that way in Peace and Harmony too. But Again that's for you to figure out; As not part of
Uncle
Sam's
Contract
at least for now with
you if you are Fortunate
enough to live where Freedom
of Happiness is even Possible in
A USA of Peace and Harmony at least for Freed You;
Again this works for me; if it ever does for you that's largely up to you.

I have raised cats and dogs for around 40 years now. Generally these are one cat and one dog at a time. Both are outdoor animals. They are somewhat natural enemies. Whenever one of these animals dies, I replace the animal with a puppy or a kitten and the process continues. The animals learn to accept each other and live a peaceful existence together. But I have to train them to do this. It takes a few minutes when they are young. It is against their nature.

In some ways people are like cats and dogs. For one thing they fight like cats and dogs. But they don't have to. They have the capacity to be tolerant towards one another. So are human beings capable of peaceful coexistence? The answer is the same as the answer to the question "So are cats and dogs capable of peaceful coexistence?"
